I keep telling y’all—child-on-child SA happens all the time, and it’s more common than people think. You need to watch your kids around other kids—cousin or not. You don’t know what they’ve been exposed to or what they will expose your child to.
Please date sweet men. Please date men who respect you in anger. Please date men who are soft spoken. Please date men who are patient with you. Please date men who respect their own bodies. Please date men that are kind to your soul. Please date men who have self-control
You’ll think you’re a good person until you fall in love/ enter a relationship.

Love confronts all of your insecurities, vices, weaknesses and toxic traits.
Shows you you’re not that patient or kind. Not as forgiving or tolerant as you thought.
